Nearby, the gelatinous body of the transparent glass octopus drifts past, its delicate structure an intriguing testament to the adaptability of life in extreme environments.
Moving away from the deep sea, you encounter the stunning spectacle of a coral spawning event. Under a moonlit night, coral colonies release their gametes in a synchronized mass reproduction effort. Millions of tiny pink, orange, and white particles fill the water, creating an otherworldly snowstorm of life. This delicate and time-sensitive dance of reproduction leaves you in awe of the intricacies and interconnectedness of the ocean's ecosystems.
But it's not just the living organisms that captivate your attention. You stumble upon the infamous "Blue Holes" of Belize, underwater sinkholes that reveal an eerie and enchanting underworld. These vertical caves, adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, hide a multitude of secrets, including ancient fossils and remnants of long-lost civilizations. Exploring these hidden realms, you become a witness to history frozen in time, a time capsule of the past waiting to be unraveled.
As you resurface, your mind is buzzing with newfound knowledge and appreciation for the ocean's wonders.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
